This Week on Long Island | November 1, 2010

Happy November! We hope everyone had a great day trick-or-treating yesterday and stayed warm – it was cold! Time is flying and now that Halloween is over for the year, we’re moving on to preparing for Thanksgiving! This month we’ll be posting some great recipes and Thanksgiving tips and hope that you’ll share yours as well. In the meantime, here are some highlights for this coming week – enjoy!

EVENTS

This Tuesday is Election Day (go vote!!) and the kids are off from school. Don’t forget the Once Upon A Treetop in Plainview has open play from 10am to 5pm, let your kids have fun and enjoy their little city! Reservations are not needed and open play is held every weekday. On Wednesday, the Long Island Children’s Museum will start Lively Leaves from 230 – 4pm, where your child can create a character with a leaf body.
